Well, I had another birthday....
I am officially on the back side of the 30's, and as one of my friends would say, I am kissing 40. Oh yea... I think there comes an age where you really don't need to celebrate them anymore. When you are young it is so exciting to turn one year older, that you need to party; and I suppose there comes an age when you are just thankful to be alive and want to party. In the middle of those two time frames...not fabulous, especially when you are single. That proverbial clock keeps ticking away.
Don't get me wrong.... I am VERY greatful for the family and friends I have. I love them all, and God has really blessed me. But.... sometimes a birthday can just be more trouble than it is worth, especially when it is 10 days from Christmas. People just try to squeeze you in their schedules between Christmas shopping and Christmas work parties and Christmas family get togethers and putting up the Christmas trees and blah, blah, blah..... Most of the time it is far more convenient for people if you go to them as to not disrupt there checklist of things to do. Basically, I am saying that the day just flat wore me out. (Now that I am old, I tire quickly...)
:)
I did have a good day overall. I am blessed to have people that want to see me and celebrate my birthday with me. I had an early dinner with 2 of my sisters and my nephews, one of them being my twin sister. I had a chocolate bag at McCormick and Schmitts on the plaza with another friend and then cheese cake and coffee at another friend's house with a couple of people... I was thoroughly sugared and coffeed up by the time I went to bed that night.
Well, those are my big thoughts on birthdays for now....
